South Salem Cemetery is located on Church Street, about one mile south of OH-28, in South Salem, Ohio (Buckskin Township, Ross County). The coordinates are 39° 20' 12.91" N, 83° 18' 38.85" W.
South Salem Cemetery is a large, active cemetery. There are definitely more older gravestones than newer ones though. The cemetery is very well taken care of, there are very few broken gravestones and the grounds are in terrific shape.
My friend Mike Hill also told me some interesting information about this cemetery...Mary A. Morter, the half-sister of Queen Victoria, is buried at this cemetery! I didn't find her gravestone, but Mike told me the epitaph reads:
"Mary A. MORTER, wife of B.J. MORTER. A native of England. Died April 16, 1852 aged 34 years, 1 month and 4 days. She was daughter of George, Duke of Kent, and father of Queen Victoria."
A huge thank you to Mike Hill for not only giving me directions to the cemetery and telling me about Mary A. Morter, but also for taking me to the cemetery!! I truly appreciate all of the help he has given me!
